lol that's why i did mine for Pad, makes life easier.
Fitted the new oil pump yesterday. missed a spacer out.. but luckily i could fit it after.
Started to fit the oil level sensor blank and the thread pulled out of the hole.. So got a helicoil set today so i can repair it. Got a new torque wrench too.
So let the engine building start.
Should try doing one up when someones swapped the coach bolts for a normal one, utter ass!
Nut each side should sort that Mark..
Indeed, I was trying to pull it off of the yellow shell quickly to move it by putting bars in the front panel through the bumper mount holes, and discovered I had to take all the bumper off of the bumper bar first because the bolts just spun lolQuote:

Even the slow updates in this wip are good! Car still looks awesome Benn!
mark, i found when i first took the bumper off all them years ago that getting the ones in the inner wings off was a nightmare, snapping one, read the haynes manual and it shows taking the bar off.. Done it that way ever since. John, cheers dude. Building the engine up so its ready for when the shells done.
Yep I always do it that way too, doesn't take the bumper alignment out too! But when they're rusted solid and spinning in the bumper bar because theyre not proper coach bolts its not so easy lol
It doesn't get much better than this Benn.
Thank you very much Mr Lad.
I also welded my bumper bolts first time I removed my bumper lol and copper greased the threads. As said before this nova is up there with the best examples and the subtle mods on the exterior are excellent. Muchos respect :thumb:
